Gov. Pawlenty On NY-23, GOP & Olympia Snowe
MSNBC through Real Clear Politics ^ | November 03, 2009 | MSNBC

Posted on 11/03/2009 3:47:53 PM PST by SmokingJoe

A pretty good interview of Gov. Tim Pawlenty about NY23 and Scozzafava on Morning Joe, by Joe Scarborough, and his crew of lefties, some of whom were out for blood.
I think Tim Pawlenty gave a pretty good account of himself, despite some pretty hostile questioning.
Dang, I just can't stand that Ariana Huffington. Just hearing her voice makes me want to smash something.

Funny how when Liberals interview Republicans, it’s considered tough questions. When Conservatives interview Democrats, it’s considered attacks. The Liberals are such pussies.

“Dang, I just can’t stand that Ariana Huffington. Just hearing her voice makes me want to smash something.”

I’ve never quite figured out her accent. She’s of Greek descent, but she sure doesn’t sound like any Greek I’ve ever known. She sounds like a cross between Counselor Troi from Star Trek and Balki from Perfect Strangers.

I thought he handled it pretty poorly. The question is a no brainer. I would rather have a conservative that Olympia Snowe, but I would rather have Olympia Snow in the Republican Part that a Democrat in that seat.

He has Palinitis. He wants to be like Sarah, but he doesn’t have the right stuff. He comes off as a panderer to the movement of the moment.

Well now we know why she managed to turn her husband gay. I mean..listening to an irritating voice like that all day, is liable to drive any man nuts.

Did anyone catch Joe saying at about the 8:50-9:00 mark, “The Republicans already lost up in NY-23, thank God” remark? I think he was refering to Dede but it was a pretty pathetic remark. I don’t know why I even listen to these people.

Naw, she's one of the lost Gabor sisters. Ariana Gabor...sister of Eva Gabor and Zsa Zsa Gabor.

A few years back, Dennis Miller used to refer to her as the “smart Gabor sister”, which was funny, though how any one can preceive her as smart, I’ll never know (that was before he had his epiphany and became a conservative).

I quit watching Morning Joe a year ago but happened to be flipping channels this morning. Pawlenty should have been stronger. It was him against five other people and they were acting like the firing squad.

I wrote the program and said with all of the issues we are facing and how this corrupt administration is behaving with bankrupting our country, leaving our military high and dry, etc., I could not believe they would put all of their focus on what Tim Pawlenty thinks of Olympia Snowe, etc.

I saw that and it ticked me off. I wish Pawlenty had said -

we want her more much than we wanted Specter (which was basically not at all) and about as much as you want Lieberman. Can we trade?
